Hi, I understand that induced drag decreases with high aspect ratio wings due to reduced wingtip vortices. But why is it that critical alpha occur at a lower value for aircraft with high aspect ratio wings? I couldn't really find an explanation in the notes... Please help. Thanks! I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
